12:02 pm
a california university who were peacefully protesting against social inequality and she wished him hikes. hello it's nine pm saturday night here in moscow you're watching r t with me kevin and first this gas and stones are flying once again in tahrir square as riot police and protesters clashing cairo state television says over one hundred fifty people have been injured the protesters have been taking to the streets protesting against the military rulers who've been in control now since president the. with talk of in february demanding withdrawal of the proposal would declare as the military the guardian of secure will get to see the protest was raised by the islamist muslim brotherhood and supported by some secular activists to discuss this now let's turn to pepe escobar columnist and correspondent for the eva times good to see you
12:03 pm
tonight we're looking at those pictures that are coming through the crowd still out there twenty four hours on violence is clearly returned to tahrir square are we about to see another revolution. look first of well let's identified of players this is very important this is basically a war of positioning at the moment we have the georgia all denominator the supreme council of the military forces we have at least five different strands of the muslim brotherhood says the old school which is much more radical let's put it this way and some there are more moderate and even accept secular war side by side to sharia law in that we have this secular movement led by the youngsters the april sixth movement these are they want a western style parliamentary democracy so what we're seeing in korea square at the moment is the muesli brotherhood basically fighting skeff why first of all scared
12:04 pm
they said the elections were being september the. you know in a few days time from the point of it was in brotherhood's not very good because they were very well organized from the beginning to contest the elections and they say that this will slowly fever secular forces and second the military they want to pulls what's going to happen in the new constitution which is not going to be very much sorry or oriented and this fourth or at least two of the five different strands of the muslim brotherhood is a no no but neither while some secular people there are also protesting because they want the military out of the picture out. heather you know obviously that's not going to happen the words this all going to go and if more and more people start turning out onto the streets again what's the west going to say about it. look at what kids look at if you wish should make the direct comparison we have
12:05 pm
a military dictatorship in egypt repressing people in a square in we have a financial dictatorship in new york repressing people in a square so you know try to make this go actually see that the whole seeing this is turning upside down purely back to egypt more important than going to the square at the moment i would see is to organize a political participation because every single depends on these parliamentary elections they start in a few days they will go on for a few months they're going to elect their constituents assembly and then they go to promulgate the new cast to sion of the country and everything the rights from that so much better than going to the square these youngsters the secular youngsters they should be organizing themselves politically because the muslim brotherhood they still have the numbers they still have the organization to push egypt towards . you know sharia law more than islamist state which is something that definitely
12:06 pm
the west doesn't want and i can see your plan herb of course of our isn't isn't the guy who charge so what do you think is going to happen in reality of the muslim brotherhood will we see more of them will when the islamists eventually take power . it's very hard to know crystal balls of course but what's going to happen really is. majority of the muslim brotherhood or i would say are similar radical some are so hard to course r.r.c. some not a radical but certainly just wants. what is very similar to the the eternity it's strong islam ist party put it's also secular but they keep the army check so i assume that the best model forced from the point of view of the muslim brotherhood for egypt would be to turkish model it's not necessary what google generation wants
12:07 pm
put forth that they need badly to organize themselves into very strong political parties and to be stronger stronger in the next two months. pictures on of your shoulder where we're just looking at a live picture coming through from areas where we're bringing our view it. is difficult to see exactly what's going on you see an awful lot of people in the square as i say we've heard there have been over one hundred fifty injuries over the last twenty four hours. is there a danger do you think that this could escalate into bloodshed over the next couple of days yes it depends on it depends on what they call the turn cow eat junk up after a field marshal tantawi the leader of. the area they're very difficult position if they repress this syrian style this is going to get out of hand especially against the muslim brotherhood and if we see let's see a little largeness of what's going to early career square with all the factions of the muslim brotherhood plus the google generation everybody in this square against
12:08 pm
a military dictatorship which is something that could happen within the next few few weeks let's put it this way then we're going to have thirty square to what it is here in the region is going to respond a lot more barak what will russia extremely closely. thanks for your input your thoughts poppy asked if i was a pleasure to see economists a correspondent for the asia times figure much ok now let's focus in on neighboring libya and there are local t.v. stations released a photograph that's proportionately of moammar gadhafi son saif al islam who's been detained by the country's authorities they say the image shows a man who appears to be siphoned off hospital bed with his right arm bandaged and he was seized by the military all attempting to escape to knees with two aides following weeks on the run angry crowds reportedly stormed the plane the flume into the libyan city of zintan who is being held at an army base now though to tell fiction our philosophy professor at philadelphia university jordan told us that he
12:09 pm
doubts if saif islam would be treated fairly now. it's unfortunate that syphilis now has been captured and i think that it's sad because he will not stand. trial in and after what we have seen what the new government have done or. what the court. media have done with his father and brother previously none the less i don't think that people who are opposing the new g.m. in libya will put down their weapons and i think that the struggle will continue on for. months to come. and in syria the country facing more sanctions as the arab league's ultimatum against the country's leadership expires later on saturday earlier this week the cairo based body suspended syria and probably tougher action if president bashar assad fails to end the violence pressure on the arab countries that mounting throughout the week
12:10 pm
with france insisting it's now too late for the regime to try and save itself or reform ukase officially begun talks with the syrian opposition with critics saying that mirrors the build up to the operation we saw in libya however russia believes the situation is being dramatize by foreign parties and stressed that opposition groups should also lay down their arms to turkey jordan announced plans to establish two buffer zones this week for refugees on syrian territory that's a move war correspondent at margolis told me signals the start of outside involvement it certainly looks like the beginning of a military intervention i'm surprised frankly turkey is the new builds not far are. trying to. grow all its neighbors as a juror that's the sticking its neck out to washington this one. because it's a key ally of iran and
12:11 pm
a key supporter of his will are little not the sort of. washington. through along with the saudis and israel is however your wise heads in washington jill that are saying we're going to fuel it through the regime wants to take its place and held off intervention now but now there is such eagerness to get any iran is serious question because i think strands of the. voters have taken many different forms during the uprisings across the middle east and north africa. i. look on the royalty don't come to listen to the songs of spring and find out how politically charged lyrics come back fire on the artists involved interesting story for you. the latest people to feel the sharp end of the police crackdowns on the occupy protesters california university students who set up tents on campus police
12:12 pm
in riot gear used pepper spray at least one woman suffered chemical burns as a result the officers response was because the students refused to move out his gun a teacher can talk sense through footage of the police action. california were peacefully protesting social inequality and tuition hikes when they were surrounded by police and pepper sprayed the thought it coming from here is is astonishing police officer use their pepper spray on students who were peacefully sitting on the walkway and sprayed the flank of students on crime and then went back to spray them once again. also only paintball guns should students faces. or seeing how aggressive the fellow protesters were treated by other cities like only one where they were tear gas or a battery for injured or your police as strong as it has shown such brutality against peaceful protesters that you know shocked the whole world a number of journalists who were arrested even after they show their credentials my
12:13 pm
colleague can see the violence will stop by police for a time while he's ordering. there's any firm ringing live coverage of the big chain of near occupiers and their treatment that they received from the police more than smaller thousand he still has there's a respite nationwide in the last two months more than four thousand any other country great i would need to nationally recommended for prior leading from the right ironically it doesn't seem to be the case that until the united states a country that case freedom of expression people are only justice and people the law mean influence of large corporations over decision making in the country under different pretenses it's already said in keeping progress there is out of there are patients and this is happening all around spending. a little bit later this hour on r t success or failure. i'm hopeful that they'll continue with their efforts and they will give us two months brought doesn't do any but. the doctor's mind but if we had a lot of the streets of new york to find out whether the occupy movement is likely
12:14 pm
to leave heavy footprint on u.s. history. next the u.n. general assembly has adopted a resolution condemning iran over the ledge conspiracy to kill the saudi ambassador to washington and tehran calls and substantiated this comes as the u.n. nuclear watchdog called around to answer outstanding questions over its atomic program the u.s. has also promised to introduce new unilateral sanctions on the middle east states oil industry monday the diplomatic pressure than on iran is coming amid reports that israel is considering a military strike on surround facilities i spoke to dr mohammed marandi from tehran university who told me sanctions do not have any effect on iran but expose u.s. weakness on the issue. sanctions. on the ronnie and oil ministry for years now and. continue to develop oil and gas fields they continue to develop a chemical or petro chemical industry and i don't think there's going to be any
12:15 pm
change whatsoever basically what it is doing it is there it is showing the american hand and how americans are really unable to do anything about iran so in general the iranians feel that the americans their strength is weakening and we even see that he'll be in there in the statement issued by. a board if it did not contain any of the major elements that the americans were seeking for thirteen that there's a relatively high in in american fortunes an american pow power poll at the political level as well as. like an army with ability to apply pressure. not warroad news video analysis starting dot com our web site couple stories for you tonight moscow set to seek an international rest warrant for american couple found guilty of the death of their adopted russian charter given what's been seen as an extremely lenient punishment more about that on line from us
12:16 pm
tonight and a rocket that will kill you long before you hear it washington test a missile this six times faster than the speed of sound it could potentially reach any target in the planet within an hour. that fears in the eurozone are turning to spain now as its borrowing costs approach alarming levels these fourth largest economy is preparing itself for tomorrow's parliamentary elections but is artie's a really good little reports none of the candidates are offering an answer to the raging unemployment and financial stagnation. there are two main parties contending for the elections at the moment the socialist parties which is which has been held in spain right now and the popular party however over the past couple of days that
12:17 pm
we have been observing especially here in madrid. does not look like any party will actually within majority vote people become disillusioned with any of the choices they have on their political table as a matter of fact the socialists have been in power for the last several years and they have been the people for essentially being blamed for not noticing the economic downturn for not reacting to the crisis properly and plunging spain in turmoil just to remind you the country has one of the highest employment rates in europe it's more than twenty four percent and has the highest unemployment rate among young people according to one of the stent astonish research companies in september will go the four thousand people have been losing their jobs in spain every single day more than five million people in the country do not have a provider for their homes and unfortunately for spain a lot of people believe the situation will get worse before it will get better the
12:18 pm
spanish are looking for a leader of the nation's many problems but british journalist and political woods told us the real solutions will come second to the bank. they all want to guard their own interest the interest of good old bankers not just that they come out smiling i'm sure they're all but believe that this instant there's a need to do something just when it comes down to the concrete proposals of what is to be done of course is built to top in fact there's a shark loose agreements if greece for example were to leave the common law which is a possibility i think a real possibility what they do also is the consequence of quite dramatically you can't do that well without looking kind of a domino reaction greece will be followed of course by other countries by ireland by by portugal by spain and good things because italy even from scoobie is no under threat the markets are picking on the first super therefore we may be witnessing the beginning of a process which could lead to the breakup of the not just of the utica but of the
12:19 pm
european union itself which would have prevented consequences for every country in europe including germany but we are also for the united states of the world economy which is what we've basically terrified of and is the nation's labor to try and preserve their endangered banking sectors max keiser and stacy herbert focus on how some banks are using their new found immunity to buff up their account sheets a full report on air very short here ten minutes time it is a quick taster. they blame themselves that's fantastic about having customers and i was writing a last illusion money and they're playing themselves. just keep still their money and they keep crying. so. help me relieve me of my money in the guilt they're just still money now and the priest on l. still money accompanied by a buck on the head and thrown into prison that's what happens when you are quite the crowds around the system either it's in greece ireland america the u.k.
12:20 pm
this is a map and ology. because as you seem from the footage you certain not just students taking part in the occupy movement it's attracting people from all walks of life in the united states . this is in new york you've been trying to find out what legacy it's likely to lead. has occupied wall street movement achieved its goal of creating a shift in the system or is it slowly becoming a blip in history probably won't remember this week let's talk about that i think they brought some attention to the issues that nobody really wants to talk about so . if it becomes part of the conversation here i think they've accomplished something but there's still a lot of work to do i'm hopeful that they'll continue with their efforts and they will get maybe people think i won't make a big difference so i think we'll think about it for
12:21 pm
a while and then go back to the ball. the bikers mines put a tent up but i think that's one of their problems no one really knows what their mission is other than because people lot of problems do you think if they had a leader that would help them define what their movement and i think if they were that organize their jobs it wouldn't be swinging around wall street i'll be honest with you i don't know what the message is so clearly they haven't communicated bad well not at all so how are they going to get out in history big. i don't think that we do much in history and the role that is going to be there is not significant he should feel like it significant it always just everybody something they feel passionate about significant but so well there's it's not every revolution starts with someone just to say i don't care what happens to me i'm going to make a change and then hopefully other people i don't do that so what's the next step how do they add on. i don't know i guess you get the middle class that's kind of comfortable that doesn't see that is
12:22 pm
a real problem because they're comfortable you either get them involved or uncomfortable if you think they're going to go out when it starts now and i hope so because then i'll feel better about it because the worse conditions they endure as we go along i think the more i'll feel supporting of it they need to go through a little bit more and then history will have a chance and i don't remember them two months protesters in doing it but you got to stick it out whether or not you think street movement has achieved its goals the bottom line is it will be interesting to see if the protesting continues once the snow arrives. a couple of new stories the four day national assembly in fact calls from the country's president hamid karzai for a long term security pact with us however the deal becoming conditions including an end to night raids on afghan civilians by foreign troops it's a major cause of friction between washington and kabul in the strategic agreement
12:23 pm
it's aimed at keeping foreign military forces in afghanistan after twenty fourteen said the number of afghan civilians killed in the first half of this year rose fifteen percent over a thousand victims. a fifty two car pile up on a german or killed three people injured many more the crash left thousands of cars in a tangled mess whether it was. clear what triggered the action. in terms of growth support it would have. record rainfall in failed flood control project a big laying on tile and four month long floods now the science and technology minister also attributed the deluge to climate change the monsoon season came weeks earlier than usual and has killed nearly six hundred people since september. kashmir has been bitterly fought over for decades by india and pakistan and it's taking its toll on thousands of hindus who have been forced from their home and
12:24 pm
those who stay behind face continued persecution but they determined they say to stick it out and encourage the departed to return that is pretty sri to stop the story. on every corner in his neighborhood vickie can't you can see mosques women dressed in his jobs and men working at a halt butcher shops it's part of the culture of srinagar kashmir ever since one thousand nine hundred nine when an alleged poppy stanback insurgency began in the area today and ninety five percent of the people living in kashmir are muslims vicky a hindu from a caste known as pundits is one of the exceptions we face many problems the biggest destruction of. post away you have to shoulder the responsibilities of my family is a very tender age ganju says his family's house was burned down during a period of particularly suited communal violence the indian government has said that around two hundred pundits were killed in the ten years since the insurgency began but other organisations say the number of killings could be as high as three
12:25 pm
thousand as a result ganju witnessed a mass exodus of his people in the past twenty years hundreds of thousands of hundreds have migrated from costs near causing the population just throwing frog one hundred thousand to around three thousand well many have started to come back most they still face this for many say despite attending a masters degree since his father's death can choose says he has been unable to hold down a steady job and it's been living in a tiny on his room with his mother and brother because of their tiny numbers in kashmir many pundits like him believe they will always be largely ignored by those in political power there is medicine that if the government comes up with any packages for us there is some possibility otherwise even the remaining few families would also move out of kashmir i think i would leave the. other pundits however are more optimistic v.j. sauce left the kashmir valley more than twenty years ago he's now back and is
12:26 pm
looking forward to a chance to reconnect to his past and john's. because this is my right and nobody can deny that whether he's a from majority minority i belong to this place and this to me while sas acknowledges the struggle his people have enjoyed he has faith of benchley more pundits will decide to return we expect not to do basically this is a very small thing to say in ten years i'm telling you after one hundred years the question many pundits will be may not be here but the question we will be here and i believe they are taking pride in their religion and for turning to their roots france or either party srinagar india. because reports come up for you shortly as promised straight off a recap of our main news stories tonight here on r t live from moscow.
